Admittedly I've been a bad blogger.

For the past two weeks I haven't shot any new content nor have I had the desire too.

The colder days makes me want to hibernate and stay in bed. The weekdays seem so long that all the weekend makes me want to do is concentrate on everything else except putting outfits together, finding locations and shooting.

And that's not to say I haven't had anything new to shoot as ASOS have seen me one too may times in the past two weeks...

I've just simply slipped into bad blogger mode.

This morning prompted me to dig into my archives and un-posted shoots and I stumbled across this beaut of an outfit.

I bought this for Ceremony Festival in September but never got around to blogging it.

Such a shame as this is the first co-ord that I have ever liked and complimented me well.

This co-ord is perfect for the festival season, I love the detail and the tasselling - not too heavy.

This is definitely an outfit that will be making another appearance next year.

Right Now
Currently watching Batman Begins.
I've watched so many films this week starring Christian Bale and I've never realised how amazing an actor he is. He is definitely one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood.
I can't wait to watch him in, Exodus: Gods and Kings which is out next month.

This Week
Busy as per. I honestly have nothing to report as my life pretty much consists of:
Work - Home - Sleep and Repeat.

Looking Forward To
Celebrating my son's 11th Birthday next weekend. I can't believe my little baby is growing so quick! It's scary to know that I have a little man and this time next year he will in secondary school! Yikes!

I was invited to another Voucher Codes Swap Shop party last Monday by the lovely Fleur - It was such a great event to be a part of again.

I thoroughly enjoyed the last one (see here) so when the invite popped up in my inbox I RVSP'd in 2.5 seconds!

Leading up to the event, Voucher Codes gave us lovely instagramers a sneak peak of what was on offer. I had my eye on the cleated knee high ASOS boots and a Moschino belt but I knew that I would be out of luck as the benefits of not working in Central London anymore means that events like this are no longer on your doorstep and more like a train, tube and bus ride away.

The Voucher Codes Swap Shop came at the perfect time for me as I had so many items in my wardrobe that I wanted to get rid of but felt like they were to nice to to sell at the car boot sale (if you do car booty's you would understand - I end up selling amazing items for 1p!) and my Depop has had no action for the past two months.

****

I arrived around 7.30-8pm so most of the desirable items were gone.

However I did manage to find a remarkable gold metallic midi skirt from Dorothy Perkins, a black sheer peplum top and a cute denim shift dress from Warehouse.
Pretty happy with my swaps and hopefully I'll blog them soon!

The highlight of the evening was the amazing mac and cheese. Although I'm lactose Intolerant I didn't care about the after effects! Cocktails where following and I may have had one too many as by the end of the night everything seemed to be a little blurry...

They were Diesel. My first white jeans as well as my first designer item.

I have no idea where my mum got them from but they were definitely second hand.

I LIVED in them.

I went to Easter Camp one year and we were participating in an activity which involved us writing with permanent marker pens. I opened up a black permanent maker excited to join in on the fun and "BLAM!" all the ink splattered all over my beloved white Diesel jeans.

If I had my reinvention hat on I could have brought them back to life and made them into a work of art.
But instead I cried like a bitch.

These white mom jeans are pretty much insane.

Not just because they are mom jeans, ripped and white but because I managed to pick them up for £5 in the Berska summer sale a few months back... Score or what?!

Right Now
Trying to finish off my Christmas Shopping. I have managed to get 2 thirds of my gifts purchased. whoohoo! I'm struggling with something for my Sister and God Children... recommendations welcome!

This Week
If you follow me on Instagram you will see that I celebrated Halloween on Friday. Not so much the scary part more the fancy dress part.
I used to go trick n' treating as a child (without my mums permission) and I do take my son now that he is old enough - but this was the first time I fully embraced it and dressed up.
